Improving transport hub design

Type of work: Modelling, design  

Potential supervisors: Yufei Yuan or Martijn Sparnaaij

There are many transfer hubs in the Netherlands, each of them with their own specificities. Here, a transfer hub is defined as a location where multiple modalities are connected, for instance train stations, large metro stations and airports. The aim of this bachelor graduation project is to analyse the functioning of a transfer hub by means of a static and dynamic capacity analysis and provide suggestions to improve the hub’s functioning. 

 


Usage of shared bicycle systems

Type of work: Data analysis, modelling, design  

Potential supervisors: Yufei Yuan, Kees van Goeverden or Danique Ton

Shared bicycle systems have been introduced in a number of Dutch cities, amongst other things OV-fiets, Mobike and Swapfiets. How these systems are used, by whom and for what reasons is currently undetermined. The aim of this project is to analyse one of these questions by means of a field survey. The project entails the setup of the field survey, the performance thereof, a data analysis. 


Impact of weather, travel distance, attitudes on e-bike or PT usage

Type of work: Data analysis, modelling

Potential supervisors: Danique Ton or Dorine Duives

The Pilot MobilityManagement aimed to diminish car-usage at TU Delft. By inviting people to try out other (more sustainable) modes of transport, they attempt to stimulate staff and students of TU Delft to leave the car home and adopt another mode of transport for their commuting trips. During this pilot a lot of data has been collected considering the travel behaviour of the participants of the pilot and the characteristics of the participants. You will determine the impact of a group of characteristics of your own choice on the e-bike or PT travel frequency of the participants. 

 


Impact of crowdedness on experience of urban spaces

Type of work: Data analysis 

Potential supervisors: Dorine Duives

Large crowds gather frequently in public space. Researchers have found that our perception of spaces is dependent on the context of the space. In recent years, various survey studies have been performed to determine how our perception of crowdedness varies with the characteristics of space. Your task will be to study these datasets and model the relation between various characteristics of space and the crowd's perception thereof.
